Greg Angel showed for the first time that particles move in living cells like waves. These quantum beats actually exist everywhere in nature - in leaves, algae and microbes, they play a key role in building our biosphere. At the same time, the quantum world remains still unfamiliar to us, which is a sign of a fundamental split between the reality we see around us and its quantum foundation. There is one set of laws in life that the world works by: these are quantum laws. The laws of statistics and Newton's laws are ultimately quantum laws passed through the lens of coherence, which filters out all the mystery of quantum theory. Dig deeper and you will see quantum mechanics hiding at the heart of all the familiar reality. Certain macro objects are also sensitive to quantum phenomena and most of them are alive. The final unification of quantum mechanics and the theory of relativity (gravity) remains one of the greatest challenges of modern physics. Go ahead, smart and brave!
